Skirt lining for see-through fabric

I have a lovely silky polyester fabric with a pattern of short strips of yellows and greys with some transparent strips. Even the non-transparent parts are quite see-through. I could do with some advice on lining material – it needs to be heavy enough so I don’t have to wear a slip underneath, and it will be visible through the transparent bits – so it needs to look nice. I also want the transparent bits to be obviously transparent. I hope this makes sense!
